Light performance wouldn’t exist without its tools — but these aren’t just props. They’re dynamic instruments that respond to your body, your rhythm, your story. Each one offers a unique way to express yourself — whether you’re building your first choreography or planning a full-stage show.
So what exactly do we work with? And how do these tools shape your creative path?
1. LED Poi: The Classics Reimagined
Poi spinning has roots in Māori culture — a rhythmic art using tethered weights. Today, LED poi bring that tradition into a new realm.
Modern poi are programmable, wireless, and incredibly customizable.
You can:
- Adjust colors and effects in real time
- Sync them to beats
- Load pixel trails with images, shapes, or words
They’re perfect for beginners but deep enough to master over time.
2. Pixel Staffs & Visual Whips
Looking for high-impact visuals? Enter pixel staffs and fiber whips.
Pixel staffs allow you to “draw” animations in mid-air. Your movement determines what the audience sees — waves, flames, even scrolling text.
Visual whips (or LED fiber whips) are more fluid — dozens of glowing fibers move like water, creating a soft, hypnotic effect. These are often used in lyrical or emotional pieces and feel almost like digital fireflies.
3. Programmable Costumes
You don’t just perform with light — sometimes, you become the light.
Costumes embedded with LED strips or smart fabrics turn your entire body into a glowing sculpture. Some respond to music or movement. Others are remote-controlled, allowing for light shifts mid-performance.
You’ll explore how to wear light effectively, whether you’re going for sci-fi armor, flowing gowns, or geometric minimalism.
4. Controllers, Syncs, and Smart Tools
The real magic happens behind the scenes. Our course introduces you to tools like:
- DMX controllers
- Bluetooth show sync apps
- Modular choreography planners
We’ll guide you through the basics of syncing light with audio, building your setlist, and understanding how tech enhances storytelling — without overwhelming you.
Why It Matters for You
Even if you’ve never touched a prop, the moment you hold your first LED poi, you’ll feel it: the creative spark.
Each tool gives you different possibilities:
- Do you want precision and structure? Try staff or batons.
- Do you like fluid, dreamlike visuals? Fiber whips await.
- Want to stand out on stage? Explore wearable light.
You’re not just learning technique — you’re choosing your creative voice.
From Classroom to Stage
Every student gets access to our tool library, including:
- Safe beginner props
- Advanced programmable gear
- Community forums for sharing effects and animations
We’ll help you choose what suits you best — whether you want to perform solo, collaborate with a DJ, or design your own act from scratch.
Light performance starts with tools — but ends with transformation. You don’t just learn how to use them. You learn how to speak through them.
